In the hot land of Santai , there are not only three people who are obsessed with football, but also the cradle that nurtures national football celebrities. His (her) stories are precipitated in the past century, and they are endless and endless...
"The National Ball Hot of Three Taiwans" one of the three Taiwans
small silver balls attracted the attention of Three Taiwans
Qing Dynasty. In the 33rd year of the Guangxu period (1907), Mei Yisheng, a British missionary who was born in the sports of football, came to the Santai Ancient City , which has a history of more than 2,000 years, to build Guangyi School, and at the same time, it brought football.
Historical materials can be found: "In the early years of the Republic of China, table tennis activities began to occur in county schools, hospitals and garrisons."
This means that after football was introduced to three units, table tennis was followed closely, and three units were introduced to three units.
has the information department display : "Before the 12th year of the Republic of China (1923), there were often table tennis activities in the Huaying Guangyi Academy, Renci Hospital and the garrison Tian Songyao 21 Division."
Immediately afterwards, teachers and students from Tongluo League brought table tennis activities to the campus.
At that time, the county junior high school was in the student canteen of the Confucian Temple and Chenghuang Temple. There were two dining tables together, and flowers were blooming with their own table tennis and rackets.
This shows that table tennis, like football, not only stood up on the land of Santai, but also took root and formed a climate.

has the information department to check: In the spring of 1931, the urban primary and secondary schools and the central primary schools in the rural areas had already had ball table equipment, and some people were responsible for guidance occasionally.
This is enough to prove that table tennis has entered the primary and secondary schools of Santai in an orderly manner, becoming one of the regular activities for teachers and students in primary and secondary schools.
1938, Northeastern University moved in. Santai, renting farmland to build sports venues, renting farm houses to add sports facilities. At the same time, bringing the table tennis activities of university teachers and students into Santai, enriching the forms and contents of table tennis activities carried out by Santai schools, agencies and garrisons.
Historical records show that at this time, more than 20 table tennis enthusiasts led by Du Shengli of the county junior high school formed the "Pili Table Tennis Team", which gave a single elimination style, and it could be In other words, the three-stage kicked off the table tennis competition. I regard this elimination method as the primary stage of the table tennis competition.
Before the founding of New China , this small silver ball like an eggshell was a rare thing. Only in the hospitals opened by schools, garrisons, and foreigners can we see the table tennis balls called "foreign things" by the people. .

We students who took the last bus from the old society and entered the new society feel strange and magical when we first saw table tennis.
Still clearly remembered that when I was in a village primary school, the teacher went to a meeting in the village primary school the day before. The next day we went to school to finish class, and we were about to rush out of the classroom to have a crazy fun. The teacher slapped the desk with a brush that wiped the blackboard and shouted: "Come on!"
One by one, we had a "black brake". We turned around and stared at the teacher with bulging eyes, thinking that someone had committed something and would be punished.
Teacher pointed at the two boys with his fingers and asked them to take off the blackboard and carry it into the yard. He also asked the three students closest to him to each hold a long bench and follow him.
In the yard, he placed the blackboard flat on two benches, and then put the other bench down in the middle of the blackboard.
Another teacher took out a silver ball from his schoolbag and deliberately threw it on the blackboard. The silver ball jumped high, and he reached out to catch it and squeezed it tightly in his palm.
Teacher said that this was called ping-pong. So he took out two beats and the two teachers started playing.I saw this small silver ball hit by the teacher in one beat, and then the teacher hit by the teacher in one beat.
action is very slow and looks a bit elegant.
This is amazing. Those who pass by the school courtyard stopped walking; those who work in the field stopped their way of life; they all came to watch the things that jumped over and jumped over on the table with wooden boards.
After that, after class, the teacher started playing table tennis with us.
In the autumn of 1952, I went to Xiping Primary School to study in high school, so I had more opportunities to get involved in table tennis.

On Sunday, place the blackboard in the classroom flat on the desk and the long bench horizontally in the middle of the blackboard, and you can play. I kept playing until I was so hungry that I was going home in a drooling state.
The most enjoyable thing is that on Saturday and Sunday afternoons, several teachers in the school played table tennis with cadres from the government offices in the town.
They moved the dining table in the hall that can be used to play table tennis to move it to the inner playground outside the house.
Teachers are really interested in playing table tennis. The opposite came in a slap, and the opposite was hit in a slap. No one wants the other party to catch it. Not only does the other party catch it, but he also turns to defense into offense. The person who was watching opened his eyes widened, and his eyes seemed to be led by a small silver ball, causing all the heads present to rotate left and right with the silver ball. It is time to wait until the ping-pong ball flew out of the table because of a mistake in serving or could not resist it! Wait for the next ball to begin.
The more people you watch, the more people you play.
Table Tennis activity started from the school and was unconsciously popularized in Santai urban and rural areas.
I never thought that table tennis, which is many times smaller than basketball and football, is even smaller than eggs, actually attracts the attention of three people like basketball and football.
In the autumn of 1954, I was admitted to Santai Middle School to study in junior high school.
Hi, I really have gained some knowledge!
Table tennis tables can be seen everywhere in the school. Not only are there table tennis in physical education classes, but extracurricular activities are also specially arranged for table tennis.
One Sunday afternoon, I went to People's Park for the first time. After crossing a bridge, there is a photo studio. Go ahead. Hi, someone is playing table tennis!
squeezed in and took a look, ah! Compared with the two I saw in the countryside, there is really a world of difference.
plays table tennis, wears tightly, looks very well, holds the rattle in his hand, opens his eyes wide, and sweat beads on his forehead. The formation is like a "gun" between two armies and arguing.
only sees the role of offense and defense change randomly. Attackers always want the opponent to defend but are unprepared; defenders always want to turn defense into offense. Attackers serve as fast as lightning; defenders catch the ball and counterattack like thunder.
Hi! This is not only a forceful fight, but also a competition of wisdom. Those who play table tennis concentrate; those who watch, three layers inside and three layers outside, surrounded by one layer after another. Those who squeeze in the innermost layer look calmly; those who stand behind, look on tiptoe very hard ; There are some little kids who actually rode on the shoulders of adults to watch. In short, all the people present were trying to concentrate on watching.
In those years of junior high school, whenever they were in junior high school, as long as they didn’t go home to get food, they would definitely go to People’s Park to watch table tennis.
In my memory, in the priests of our three priests, those who played table tennis, there would be people watching. There was no division between labor, agriculture, commerce, men, women, and young, as long as there was no fire carbon falling on the instep, they would have to watch for a while.
small silver ball, like a magnet, attracted the attention of three people.
